Answer:
6.06%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of return is shown below:
Given that
NPER = 20 years
PV = ($280,000 - $80,000) = $200,000
PMT = $0
FV = $75,000 × PVIFA factor at 10% for 21 years
= $75,000 × 8.6487
= $648,652.50
The following formula should be applied
= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
The present value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the rate of return is 6.06%
Answer:
Cost of equity = 10.5%
Explanation:
<em>The capital asset pricing model is a risk-based model. Here, the return on equity is dependent on the level of reaction of the the equity to changes in the return on a market portfolio. These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta. </em>
Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)
Rf-risk-free rate (long-term i.e 10 year treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market., Ke- Return on equity (cost of equity)
This model can be used to work out the cost of equity as follows:
Ke= Rf + β (Rm-Rf)
Rf- 6%, β= 1.0, Rm- 10.5, E(r)- ?
Ke = 6% + 1.0× (10.5 -6)% = 10.5%
Ke = 10.5%
Cost of equity = 10.5%
Answer:
Use the Gordon Growth formula for this.
The price of a stock in the current year is:
= (Dividends in current year * (1 + growth rate) ) / (Required return - growth rate)
Current price
= (2.55 * ( 1 + 3.9%) ) / (10.4% - 3.9%)
= $40.76
In 3 years:
= (2.55 * ( 1 + 3.9%)⁴ ) / (10.4% - 3.9%)
= $45.72
In 15 years:
= (2.55 * ( 1 + 3.9%)¹⁶ ) / (10.4% - 3.9%)
= $72.36
Answer:
(E)
Explanation:
Since SwimFit wants to improve the quality of its goggles and other products inorder to achieve better quality than that of its competitor it is termed reverse engineering.
Any reproduction of another manufacturer's product after examination of how it is made is called reverse engineering.
An example of this scenario occurs in real life when a close competitor of a firm invents a new mobile phone with certain features. Within a few weeks the other firm might release their own mobile phone with similar or even better features.
Answer:
option (e) 13.95%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Dividend paid, D0 = $6 per share
Current selling price = $80 per share
Dividend growth rate = 6% = 0.06
Now,
Cost of equity = [ D1 ÷ Current price] + Growth rate
= [ ( D0 × (1 + g) ) ÷ $80 ] + 0.06
= [ ( $6 × (1 + 0.06) ) ÷ $80 ] + 0.06
= [ 6.36 ÷ $80 ] + 0.06
= 0.1395
or
= 0.1395 × 100%
= 13.95%
Hence,
The correct answer is option (e) 13.95%
